style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Hi
Al, I am currently working with a CC System that is rolling out an Altiris based
system to virtualize all the computers in their multicampus network. There
is one option in the system that allows for the setup of a physical hard drive
space on the local computer and as I have seen it demonstrated this option
allows for the necessary hooks into the base image. If you like I can see
if the details are for public consumption, I did some testing and the AT that I
was working with functioned just fine, but I think this implementation is not
quite as plane jane as what you may be proposing.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Altiris
makes the claim that the can virtualize anything and based on what I have seen
so far the claims seem to be accurate. But of course they would not let me
try to break the build </SPAN><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">For
years, the software image used in all our campus labs has included
assistive technologies such as Jaws, Kurzweil 3000, and Zoomtext. Over the
next few months, the infrastructure of our lab environment is going to be
reworked. All our current PCs will basically be used as Thick
clients, which over time are to be replaced by Thin clients. upon
starting, the clients will boot to Linux, with Firefox running in kiosk
mode. Users will be presented with a simple login web page. After
logging in, a Windows XP VM will be streamed to the
client.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The base
VM is going to be very vanilla, with most apps being streamed to the VM as
needed. These streaming packages will be built using Altiris Streaming
Composer. Is there anyone else dealing with a similar setup?
If so, I would be very curious to compare notes as to any accessibility issues
you have needed to overcome. My biggest concern is video chaining issues
with apps such as Jaws and Zoomtext.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
